America’s Powder Keg: The Militant Left
400: The Illusion of Tolerance
Settle in today kings — I’m about to cook. It’s going to be a spicy Tuesday and we’re pivoting to politics before resuming market coverage mid week. 400th Arb Letter — so we’ve got a big one.
In 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution tore through the heart of the Russian Empire, replacing centuries of monarchy with a brutal experiment in Marxist utopia.
What began as a workers’ movement quickly devolved into authoritarianism, violence, and mass suppression of dissent — all in the name of equality and justice (sound familiar?).
Today, while the political landscape looks somewhat different, echoes of that same militant leftist fervor are reemerging in the United States and western nations.
NCRI (The Network Contagion Research Institute) along with the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab, did a recent poll with shocking (or not so shocking) results that shed light on what we are going to talk about at length today. 48% and 55% of respondents in this poll at least somewhat justify murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.
Absurd.
The correlation matrix reveals that support for political violence—including property destruction and assassination—is not expressed in isolation, but as part of a tightly interconnected belief system. Those who justify the murder of Elon Musk or Donald Trump are also more likely to support Luigi Mangione’s killing of Brian Thompson

From Antifa to violent pro-Palestinian street protests, to CEO hit jobs, to a growing number of racially motivated attacks, from cancel mobs to academic radicalism, the modern American left has incubated factions that aren’t interested in dialogue or democracy — they want submission.
And they’re more than willing to use force, both physical and cultural, to get it.
It wasn’t popular or even accepted during 2020 and Covid to speak out against the social justice movement and creeping government overreach — doing so undoubtedly got you marked online and in many instances, shadow-banned, throttled, and suppressed. It could lose you your job, business, friends, family, or even land you in prison.
My brand has undoubtedly been a target of suppression (this post will be too) given I have never steered from covering things as they are, no matter how controversial or unfavorable it was at the time. My only interest with commentary in Risk On and Arb Letter — is to paint the best picture of the truth I can, absent of any of the corporate or politically correct fluff that characterizes the majority of mass media and our society today.
Those in power and the media would have you believe that the biggest threat to Western countries and society is “radical” native born men with right wing political leanings but the cold hard truth is the number one threat to the US, Europe, and other Western nations is the far left and their invasive ideology that is continuing to drive real world violence. Thye are complicit — calling Trump and others Hitler and doing everything BUT telling people to go out and engage in violence.
We’ve seen assassination attempts on President Trump, the United Healthcare CEO’s assassination (that was oddly celebrated), acts of domestic terrorism including bomb threats and Molotovs used against Tesla owners and facilities, and a new slew of racially charged attacks breaking out across the US. Art and images are popping up everywhere — in the real world and online, encouraging political violence.
This isn’t about Democrats vs. Republicans. It’s about what happens when violence becomes acceptable — so long as it serves the “right” ideology or can be explained with the right narrative.
Today we will walk through how the institutional left and media is normalizing mass violence, how Big Tech helped/is helping cover it up, and why we’re likely on the edge of a second wave — one that’s more dangerous, more organized, and more unhinged than ever before.
These are the facts and data they’ve tried to censor.
These are the patterns most won’t acknowledge — but chances are you’ve felt them.
I grow fatigued by those ignoring what is right in front of all of our faces or worse, those that are complicit in the true threat to nations around the world. A true enemy of the state, emboldened by media cover, institutional power, and a society too afraid to call it what it is or do anything about it.
This isn’t theory or speculation. It’s already happening.
We’re watching a new militant left emerge — one that uses arson, violence, race-baiting, and digital censorship as tools of enforcement and continues to get cover from every major institution and the media while doing it.
The far left believes their violence is righteous. They’ve been told it’s justice. And increasingly, they don’t just want you silenced — they want you gone.
What comes next will show you exactly how deep this goes — and what’s coming if we don’t course correct.
